KAYAKING
ROSS LAKE
SEPTEMBER 2007









Ross Lake was created by the damming of the Skagit River and is in the recreation area of the North Cascades National Park. The elevation of the lake is 1600 feet and it is over 20 miles long. The climate is similar to Seattle's.

We started by putting in on Diablo Lake and paddled 3 miles to the base of the Ross Lake dam. At the base of the dam is a phone for you to call for a truck that shuttles us and our boats up to Ross Lake.

We then put in on Ross Lake and spent 4 days paddling to the north end of the lake which is in Canada. along the way there were several side canyon we paddled up and found water falls at the end of the them.

At the end of the lake we were picked up by a shuttle boat and brought back to the dam and did the process in reverse.
